Table of ContentsIntroduction Chapter 1: Outlining the free will problem: determinism vs indeterminism Chapter 2: Education and autonomy Chapter 3: Spinoza on self-determination and the improvement of the understanding Chapter 4: Moral education and moral responsibility Chapter 5: Can causal determinism and autonomy coexist? Chapter 6: Free will as a valuable fiction in education Chapter 7: Education for autonomy without free willReviewsDahlbeck in this book applies the philosophical naturalism and determinism of Spinoza's philosophy -positions that are receiving more and more evidentiary support from the new brain sciences-to the field of education and moral education. He offers in this book a Spinoza-inspired theory of ethics and moral transformation and autonomy emergent from a determinist naturalism; 2. A model of ethics, moral transformation, and autonomy that is both rational and scientifically up-to-date; and 3. The application of that model to the entire field of education. This book should be widely read by Spinoza scholars, philosophers of education, educators of all kinds, and schools of education should implement the proposed model as a new model of education and moral education. It ought to be of crucial importance to the systemic rethinking of the purpose and process of education. It has the widest possible importance and applicability.
